ln some recent models for hadron-nucleus collisions at high energies, it is assumed that only Ae nucleons in the nucleus with mass number A interact as "a big hadron" with the incident hadron and the residual A-Ae nucleons pass through as spectators. In this paper, two alternative formulae to calculate the distribution of the effective mass number Ae or its average l under a reasonable appro ximation. A confusion recently raised by considering that Ae=v is thereby settled.
